From rosie's apartment (a good mile or two walk, not too bad). I could hear and see lightning in the distance. There have been severe thunderstorm warnings for a while now and such, but things were dry while I was going, could just see the coming lightning and hear the thunder.
Anyway, while I was walking I began more and more to be able to feel the electricity (or whatever) in the air on my skin and arm hair and what not. Kinda cool, but also kinda disturbing as that meant things were getting closer and I was also possibly becoming somewhat charged. I remembered from my photography days how dangerous it is to be out with our big metal cameras in such weather, and how you can REALLY feel the charge building in the camera itself.
I ended up getting home fine (obviously) but a few mintues later (less than 10 I guess) the storm hit hard and fast for a while. Heavy rain, lots of lightning and thunder overhead. Missed it by not much obviously.
I just thought it was pretty cool. Whether you guys care or not, I now have related my experience and am satisfied.

Re: So I was walking home a couple hours ago....
And just think, what would've happened had you stayed a few minutes longer? You could've been nicely fried.
(Also, Ninja woke me up 'cause I think I was sleep-talking when you left. Fun times.)
